Artie was apparently hospitalized for diabetic shock.

He jokes about his health a lot but I assume this isn't a joke:

Great. Artie definitely seems like a guy who can manage a complicated disease like diabetes :saddowns:

Yeah turns out he did back when they were trying to get Siobhan laid(05/18/06 according to mf). "Siobhan Smell Test" was the episode judging by the dead putlocker links in my history

Artie said it best. It takes a lot to hate a disabled guy rather than feel bad for him, but Eric is so insufferable that he makes it easy.

I think a guy here said it even better, something like

When god was putting together Eric the Midget, he stopped and thought "why am I wasting all these perfectly good body parts on this rear end in a top hat" and thus ETM is the result

He thought whores were in love with him. He wanted to call an American Idol contestant at home and ask her to go to a wedding as his date. He actually asked Simon Cowell to 'get' Kelly Clarkson to go on a date with him. He sent flowers to Carrie Underwood backstage at a concert, and he thought she was calling him for phone sex. He thought a webcam stripper was his girlfriend.

He is just the loving best, man.

Richard was on location when Siobhan lost her (?) virginity, post-transition. There is a HowardTV episode of this. Richard's crazed laughter is all over the soundtrack, making it really funny.

I wonder if he could beat Robin on the narcissist test. The poo poo he believes he deserves is mindblowing. I'd pay per view an in depth psychological evaluation of him.

I've run out of/burned out on the podcasts I listen to, so I'm onto my third listen of the Eric the Midget Chronicles. Started with Sirius era, and I'm halfway through 2006. The hardest part is knowing he never flies with balloons. But goddamn this poo poo is still infinitely hilarious.

He'll put $30,000 down on dying before age 60, so of course he'll live to be 100 and lose the money.

I still get freaked out by that video of him running around naked with a boner, his sex tape or whatever, it's like the most disturbing thing seeing this little, not man, is a man thing running around.

Then you imagine women letting him have sex with them, ugh. Just, wow.

It's like loving the missing link, how do they do it? Crack?

I know this is old but I sometimes just skip around and read random pages in this thread as part of me getting into the stern show/general lack of a life but
does anyone have a link to this? Morbid curiosity. I've also never been able to find a stream or download of that Beetle Uncensored video they talked about in Beet's early days. I think it's got some clips where he answers the door naked and wipes his rear end with a paper towel and hands it to the delivery guy. I'm DYING to see that full film.

Get the scientists working on the tube technology, immediately.
I think Artie has way to many hang ups to deal with a diagnosis like diabetes. Even a diagnosis of a manageable disease like that is liable to send him into another tailspin of depression/drug use. The guy has been so babied his entire life he'll probably need his girlfriend or mother to manage his diet and give him his insulin shots if he needs them. It's well documented how he feels about needles.

Sal actually looks sort of normal in this. But I guess that's because he dressed up and his relative youth at the time.

Did the show ever cover what he actually did at his firm? From the few things they mentioned ("you're like a QB who has been making Hail Mary's all month") it sounds like he was cold calling for pump & dump schemes before getting on the show. At least he was before he passed his exam, according to the Smoking Gun.

Yeah he definitely worked exclusively in shady boiler room type deals.

Even if Artie could somehow get over his phobia of needles, if Crash and Burn is any indicator, he could only be on the wagon for a few months at best. That's not even including maintaining a diet for extended periods of time, which is impossible for him, unfortunately.

Is it too late to add him to my 2014 death pool?

I'm betting they did a tox screen on him and found a number of things so based on his medical history, and possibly at the request of this family, they are locking him up.

Tox screen mixed with his medical history. Hopefully he'll get the help he needs instead of just floating along like he has for quite a while.

His poor mother seems completely unable to really deal with the situation in a meaningful way.

It must be rough for her and Artie's sister to hear Artie talk about how wonderful they are and how they saved his life and then have him go right back to doing the same poo poo that's almost killed him so many times in the past.
